Mike, this is an outstanding piece of music. That sax lead was very good.

The backing track on spot on.

I half expected for Carlos (Santana) to start playing.

Two rum and cokes up!


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?

Mike,
Soothing and romantic - love that bolero backing and the solos are so melodic.If I`m correct and the title translates to "sunset", I can`t think of a better word to describe the feel of this.
Beautiful music!

Hi Mike,

Super song! This is my favorite song by you to date. The sax just spills its great sound and the backing tracks are perfect in support. Love the trombone, too. We don't hear enough trombone in big band sounds. Very nice arrangement and mix.

Totally loved it from first note to last. Nice work, Mike!

Thanks to you all, Sergio, Scott, Rob, Robert, Video,and Alan for the time to listen and the kind comments. This is the first time i use this sax VST from Embertone. I think it sound superb and best of all the price...$20, check it out.
Robert you're absolutely right, I should have said Sunset, not Nightfall. My bad.

Thanks again

Mike B.

Mike, that is terrific. We both love the sax and, man, this one is right in the pocket.

And the arrangement and mix provide the perfect support.

Kudos!
